About Me
Authors, Publishers, Friends: If you would like me to review your book, e-zine or movie, interview you, conduct giveaways, or if you have a recommendation for any of the above, just click the "Email Me" in the overhead navbar and send me an email or just stick something in the comments below. I will respond in a timely fashion.
And if you want to know why I write book reviews, here are 7 reasons.
Welcome to the wonderful world of me! Here you will find book reviews, funny anecdotes, fantasy / scifi / speculative fiction, musings on life and culture, Christian thoughts, personal journaling, and some other random stuff.
Have I pointed out enough stuff yet? Anyway, on to a little about me. I'm not old, but not really young either. I'm not handsome or plain, nor am I tall, but neither am I short. Sometimes I'm funny, sometimes I'm not, but I am always verbose. Some of my thoughts are scattered, some are well-organized, but all are fun to read. I'm college educated but not too smart, and a trivia buff on the side.
The title of this blog is taken from Ecclesiastes 2:11. "Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun." I like the irony in Solomon's statement.
"His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.'" - Terry Pratchett

well it made ME laugh.
Can I aks where your beach pic is taken? It looks a little too white and sandy to be the florida beaches anymore--we lost so much to the hurricanes.
We live minutes from the beach and love it!
Great review, John!
